Bump MSRV to 1.40

As discussed in commit 1a18345 ("Update dependenies", 2020-12-17), Rust
1.38's Cargo produces a backwards incompatible lock file format [1],
making "cargo update" effectively not work. cargo-lock [2] can change
the format of a lock file but that really doesn't fit into normal
operation. Bump MSRV to eliminate this hurdle; and move all the way to
1.40 to also eliminate the platform MSRV split.
